Public Grades

Summary

Luisa Pineiro Fuentes School Of Science And Discovery is an elementary school in the Bronx, New York, serving 225 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly Hispanic (88.89%) and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (over 90% receive free or reduced-price lunch).

Academically, the school's performance on state assessments is consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's 3rd-grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate was 27.78%, compared to the New York City Geographic District #10 average of 32.2% and the state's 44.89%. The school has ranked in the bottom 20-25% of New York elementary schools over the past several years, with particularly low performance for English Language Learners and Special Education students. Despite the school's challenges, its spending per student ($25,504 in 2022-2023) is higher than the average for the surrounding schools, which range from $19,258 to $24,710 per student.

The issues facing Luisa Pineiro Fuentes School Of Science And Discovery are not unique, as the nearby schools in New York City Geographic District #10 have similar demographic profiles and academic performance challenges. This suggests that the underperformance is a systemic problem within the district, and a more comprehensive and sustained approach is needed to address the unique needs of the student population and improve educational outcomes at the school.

We moved from Pennsylvania to the bronx,and it was a big change for my kids.
my Daughter was assigned to PS 307 and i think that the Principal and most of the Staff cares about the children that attend this school, wich i didn't think i was going to find at a new york school pleasently surprised!!!
i hope that never changes,because now my kindergarten Son is going to that school,even do sometimes i feel overwhelmed by their expectations on attendance and academics, wich i should probably shouldn't complain about!!!
in Summary i like the school very much. Close Quote
